Stevica Ristić scored his first goal of season for Amkar, Aco Stojkov continued his recent good form with another goal for Aarau, while Goran Pandev, Ivan Trickovski, and Besart Ibraimi each had an assist for their respective teams.

Italy, Serie A, Inter – Lecce 1:0
Goran Pandev started for Inter and played until the 72nd minute when he was replaced by Philippe Coutinho.  Pandev started on the right wing in a 4-2-3-1 formation as Inter struggled throughout the 1st half dealing with Lecce’s defensive tactics as Lecce had all 11 players in their own half for large parts of the 1st half.  The Inter players were constantly losing possession of the ball as they were each going against two or even three Lecce players whose obvious game plan was to defend and maybe get lucky on a counter attack.  Inter finally broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute when Wesley Sneijder passed it to Pandev who made a nice flick to Giampaolo Pazzini who chested the ball down before he turned and scored past the Lecce keeper.  The Lecce players protested to the referee because they felt Pazzini used his hand but the goal stood for Inter who are now only two points behind rivals Milan for first place on the Serie A table.

Italy, Campionato Primavera, Torino Primavera – Parma Primavera 4:5
Stefan Ristovski played all 90 minutes for the Parma Primavera team.

Germany, 1.Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund – Mainz 05 1:1
Nikolce Noveski played the entire game for Mainz who needed a late equalizer from youngster Petar Slišković to pick up a point against the current Bundesliga leaders.  Mainz fell behind in the 8th minute when Noveski’s marker Mats Hummels got his head on the ball from a free kick and was able to score past the Mainz keeper who got a piece of the ball but he couldn’t quite keep it out as the ball just barely crossed the line before it was cleared by Mainz defender Malik Fathi.

Germany, 1.Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt – St. Pauli 2:1
Aleksandar Vasoski was an unused substitute for Eintracht Frankfurt while his teammate Oka Nikolov remains out with an injury.  Eintracht picked up a much needed victory as they are now just three points above the relegation zone after a tough stretch where they went nine consecutive league games without a win prior to this game against St. Pauli.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Dnipro – Dynamo Kyiv 1:0
Goran Popov played the entire game for Dynamo Kyiv and also picked up a yellow card in the 74th minute.  The media in Ukraine blamed Popov for the only goal of the game by Dnipro in the 51st minute because Popov left his LB position to come inside to mark another player and that left Croatian Ivan Strinić to come where Popov should have been and score a nice goal with a volley following a good cross from the left by Yevhen Konoplyanka.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Sevastopol – Karpaty 3:1
Martin Bogatinov played from the start for Karpaty Lviv and conceded three goals while Besart Ibraimi started on the bench for Sevastopol before he entered the game in the 58th minute replacing Toafik Salhi.  Just seconds after Ibraimi entered the game, Sevastopol scored their second goal with a header following a corner kick.  Ibraimi then provided the assist on the third goal for Sevastopol in the 87th minute when he intercepted a pass and then provided a nice through ball to Sevastopol captain Serhiy Ferenchak who beat the offside trap and scored past Bogatinov to put the game away.

Ukraine, Premyer-Liha, Vorskla – Metalurh Donetsk 1:1
Mario Gjurovski was an unused substitute for Metalurh Donetsk.

Russia, Premier-Liga, Amkar – Lokomotiv Moskva 1:0
Stevica Ristić started for Amkar Perm and played until the 78th minute when he was replaced by Radomir Đalović.  Ristić scored the only goal of the game in the 25th minute following a corner kick by Georgi Peev when the ball reached Ristić in the crowded penalty area and he was able to score from close range.  Ristić had another two good chances in the 2nd half but his sliding shot in the 47th minute was saved by the visiting keeper and then his right footed shot in the 59th minute from the right of the penalty area went just wide of the left goal post.

Cyprus, Marfin Laiki League, APOEL – AEL 2:0
Ivan Trickovski played all 90 minutes for APOEL while his teammate Boban Grncarov was rested and stayed on the bench for the entire game.  Trickovski was active and his first big chance came in the 56th minute but his diving header from close range was saved nicely by the AEL keeper.  Trickovski should have had a goal in the 72nd minute but his goal was wrongly disallowed for offside by the assistant referee.  Constantinos Charalambides attempted a shot that hit both the right and left goal posts and Trickovski scored on the rebound but the assistant referee ruled it offside.  Replays clearly showed that Trickovski was onside but the decision by the assistant referee didn’t prove decisive as APOEL held on for the win.  Trickovski actually provided the assist on the second goal for APOEL in the 82nd minute when he made a nice pass to Esteban Solari who scored to put the game away for APOEL.

Cyprus, Marfin Laiki League, Ethnikos Achnas – Anorthosis 0:2

Bulgaria, A PFG, Kaliakra – Levski 0:3
Darko Tasevski and Levski did not have to play but were awarded an automatic 3:0 victory after the home team was forced to forfeit due to not having ambulance available at the stadium.  The stadium also had no stretchers available and it would have been dangerous to play the game in case a player picked up a serious injury so the referee did not allow the game to begin and Levski were awarded a 3:0 victory.
